HARBOURING CHARGE

IN ELECTIONS

BUT NOT IN POLITICS

London, July 31, The plan to create a special non-territorial constituency for the Speaker, which has been under the consideration of the Cabinet in consequence of the Labour Party's decision to oppose Captain E. A. Fitzroy at the next General Election, has been abandoned as impracticable,

Captain Fitzroy, in a letter to his constituents, declares that he has no intention of descending into the arena of party politics in order to, defend his seat, and, in the event of the Labourites persisting in their proposal to oppose him, Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Ramsay Mac- Donald

and other prominent leaders, including Mr. Lloyd George, are planning to visit the Daventry division to speak on Captain Fitzroy's behalf, in sup port of the principle that the Speakership should be above party politics.

The Speaker's position of ab- solute impartiality prevents his participation in the battle of party politics and for over 30 years he has been returned unopposed with the consent of all the parties. The decision of the Labour Party is not based on personal reasons but on the grounds that the constitu- ency is virtually disenfrachised during the whole Speaker's term of office.
